As this article and several commenters have mentioned, Kurosawa Akira had famously borrowed (and in turn inspired) elements of western movies--Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro. Uchida Tomu's The Outsiders and Kinoshita Keisuke's A Legend or Was It were also heavily inspired by western.

As for more recent stuff, off the top of my head, there's Lee Sang-il's Unforgiven (remake of Clint Eastwood's) and Miike Takashi's spaghetti western (ramen western?) Sukiyaki Western Django.

I'm sure I'm only scratching the tip of the iceberg here.

Hey, this is such an interesting idea for an article! Kudos for writing it :)

Legit question, though (to anybody who might know the answer, not just @Size15FeetJames). Has there been a Korean movie with elements of western besides The Good, The Bad, and the Weird? I know Japan has quite a lot of those but what about South Korea?

At the risk of boring you to death with the same phrase every time you release an article: THANK YOU.

I'm kinda excited that NHK decides to make a taiga about the rise of Kamakura shogunate. (That seems to be the focus, I think?) But unless NGN airs it simultaneously while it's airing in Japan, I guess the chance of getting it subbed is pretty slim.

And for anyone's interested, Vee of icedhojichasubs has decided to sub Kaya and Mamiya Shotaro's Fight Song: https://subs.icedhojicha.com/announcement/announcement-fight-song/

There's English subs on Subscene

In case anybody's wondering (because I did wonder), it seems like this weekend they're going to air a special episode, basically just a summary of previous episodes. That's why we won't get episode 9 until December 11.

Dramacool snatches subtitles from official broadcasters or fansubbers. If it's not officially available or no fansubber picks this up, Dramacool won't have it subbed.

*screams* You don't know how happy this makes me! These two awesome ladies together in a drama. I think I'm going to swoon :D

The irony is that since a lot of dramas have official subs these days, people don't bother to fansub stuff anymore (outside of Viki). I don't think any of the fansubbing groups that were active in the 2000s and early 2010s are still around.

Thank you so much. And please take all the time that you need. I really liked your subs for Konto ga Hajimaru, and I just know you're going to do great working on this one too.

I've always thought that I'm pretty open-minded, but yeah, that movie was where I drew a line apparently.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this, guys. I could definitely see myself coming back multiple times to this article in the future for recs and reference. Amazing tribute to an amazing actor.

I'm guessing it's because TV Chosun is a smaller cable channel so they might not have the budget comparable to terrestrial channels or larger cable channels like tvN/JTBC.

Ep. 1 is out (subbed by keroro4 @d-addicts)

Ha, yes. The first thing that came to mind when I saw that drama title was Buckley's song.

First of all, let me say this: Congratulations for making such a comprehensive article. I can see your hard work and dedication in making this article (the research alone!). Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it with us :)

Lots of interesting stuff, but I'll wait when they're subbed because I don't want to get my hopes up. Thank you for compiling this, @OAL and @chiha! :D

I'm going to replace them with the new version, too. Thank you.

Thank you for doing this and sharing your subs with us, Tsubakii404. Oh, and I would like to ask for your permission to upload the subs for eps. 9 and 10 to Subscene, crediting you, for course.

It might be region-locked, though.
